Go on then - what are the real reasons, in your mind?

  Unfriendly core team?

    Why should major technology projects be "friendly" to random people? I think the word you're looking for is "politics".
    • metadat 4y ago
      Being friendly is inclusive and generally a winning strategy compared to others. The underlying source of the Politics of Python and associated perceptions stems from the core team's culture of not being "friendly".

        People act according to their interests. They have no obligation to go out of their way to cater to yours. The entitlement of the new generation of open-source contributors to require political correctness or friendliness is so destructive it's ridiculous. I wouldn't want to be involved with any project that prioritizes such zealotry on top of practicality.

          It's not about entitlement so much as about ensuring the project can reach it's full potential and continue to stay relevant and useful in perpetuity as people come and go. The world constantly changes, projects adapt or become less useful.
